Union threatens SABC with total blackout

[Shadowchaser1]

Ex cit. Why does the SABC still exist? It's from the Dark Ages.

 

[Fuzzbox]

Please give us the blackout.
See if anyone actually cares.

 

[tin4444]

Finally a worthy strike. Please go ahead and don’t give in, even if the SABC concedes, demand more and more and refuse to back down. This is your chance, go for it.

Do they know that if SABC closes that the people pretending to work there will have to find a real jobs where they will actually have to work for a living.

There is always BBBEE.
They will get work again...............doing nothing.

Especially Hlaudi's employees. Don't forget the unforgettable SABC choir who sang his praises -- it's like something out of the book of Revelation, praising their self-made god peacock. What a sham.

Yep. This reminds me of the SAA implosion, minus about 1-2 years.

Truly. Every man and woman in SA is an island. Too bad we're all sharing the same national fiscus.

The SAA strike you refer to:

Numsa, Sacca reject claims that strike crippled SAA financially

The workers' unions says the current board and senior management of SAA knew the dire straits the company was in prior to the strikes and should take responsibility for it.

Killed SAA.

Lets hope same will happen with SABC.

This government won’t ever learn. Hell SABC can be in more debt than eskom and they’ll still try to suck every last dime out of the paying citizens.

They truly think they know what they’re doing. Which is the biggest problem.

So: If the extra workers don't get laid off, the SABC goes bang. And if they do get retrenched, the union strikes and the SABC goes off the air and goes bang.
That, I believe, is called the "South African option'. One of the things we invented - corporate suicide in aid of the workers at the corporation.

The bailouts will just come from the general population regardless. Like I said this government actually think they are good at business.

 

[supersunbird]

Would anyone notice?

Apart from Isidingo fans

I'm sure I read somewhere that Isidingo doesn't show anymore.

 

[supersunbird]

Best news I heard all day.
Nobody will notice anyway....unless you watch Anaconda.

Just turn off the lights when you are closing the doors.......oh wait.......the ANC have already done that.

When they riot, I hope they will also be arrested like the police have arrested the farmers. The precedent have been set.

Seems you are confusing SABC with ETV...

 

[cr@zydude]

Blackout. Does that mean tthat white people can now get jobs at the SABC?

Leanne and Vylen aren't white?

 

[RonSwanson]

Leanne and Vylen aren't white?

Never heard of him.

Union threatens SABC with total blackout

The conflict between trade unions and the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has escalated as the public broadcaster readies a round of job cuts that could affect 600 people.

The Communications Workers’ Union (CWU) previously said it was discussing the possibility of a “full-blown strike” and has now said that it will cause a complete blackout at the SABC if its workers are undermined.

“Should the employer become so arrogant that they undermine everything about workers, we must withdraw labour and that will lead to a complete blackout at the SABC of both radio and TV because that’s the last solution we have to look at,” the CWU told Eyewitness News.

Lies! SABC is already 99% local and black

Never heard of him.

They're 2 of the 3 hosts of the SABC's flagship morning show. Leanne is probably the longest running host of the show by now, and replaced a previous white host, Tracy Going.

Maybe learn a little about SABC programming before asking if white people can work there.
